Did anyone use someone other than Fernando Fuentes or Sara Tamargo for their hair/makeup!?!?! Sara won't come because I don't have 4 bridesmaids (not worth it to fly down) and Fernando is booked for that day (which is fine because honestly he is a bit expensive). I'm at a bit of a loss!

For my wedding day I used Sara Tamargo. Our ceremony ran a little longer and we didn't have enough time for a lot of pictures at the resort so our photographer offered us a second session for the next day. We got married on Friday but decided we wanted to take advantage of their offer for Monday. Unfortunately since it was after the fact, I didn't have a chance to mention it to Sara and I had a hard time trying to reach her that weekend after the wedding. So I called the concierge at the HTR and they offered me a lady who came and did my hair and make up for $120. You can see the picture (close up) of me at the pier (in our wedding pictures) - she did my hair/make up for this one. It wasn't as great as Sara but she also had less time to work on my make up and hair. I only had an hour from when she came to when I had to go get photographed. I didn't get her name though You can call the resort and ask them who they use. My photographer also photographed a model that Sunday who was photographed by this same lady - take a look at those photos.

Did any brides have their dresses steamed for them at the resort. I'm worried about mine getting wrinkled after traveling in a bag on the plane and I was hoping they'd be able to steam out any wrinkles for me.

I sent mine to get steamed at the resort and my Husband sent his tux to get pressed/as well. I sent it the day before and got it back the day of the wedding. The only thing is timing - I would tell them an hour earlier than you really need it. I asked for it for 11 but didn't get it until past 11.

I had no other issues other than timing though - the dress looked great.
